The same.

This copy is wrongly styled, on fol. 1^a, فتوح الحرمين تصنيف جامى (see No. 1417 above); but on fol. 1^b the proper statement appears, كتاب فتوح الحرمين مولانا محيى . The beginning is different here from that in the preceding copies, the first bait runs thus:

اى دو جهان غرقۀ آلاى تو – كون و مكان قطرۀ درياى تو

(corresponding to the initial bait in the Berlin copy, and to the twenty-second verse in the preceding copy, No. 2251, fol. 2^b, I. 1). The author’s name appears here, on ff. 4^a, l. 12, 43^a, l. 4, and 54^a, l. 3.

No date.

No. 887, ff. 55. 2 coll., each ll. 14; clear Nasta’lîḳ; illustrations on ff. 14^a, 25^b, 27^a, 27^b, 32^a, 36^b, 38^a, 39^b, 46^b, 49^a, 51^a, 51^b, 52^a, 52^b, 54^b, and 55^a; size, 9^3/4 in. by 5^7/8 in.
